This video answers an important question—WHY should you study Chemistry, especially if you’re not planning on majoring in Chem. The truth is, Chemistry is a prerequisite for almost every STEM subject. Many fields of science, engineering, and medicine require a solid grounding in chemistry concepts. That’s why Chemistry is often referred to as “The Central Science.” In this video we’ll talk briefly about the history of the subject—when did Chemistry actually start? And then we’ll dive into the various ways learning Chemistry will help you in Astronomy, Biology, Geology, Physics, Engineering and Material Science, and more. Finally, we’ll look at the ways the study of Chemistry can be organized into 5 major branches: organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, and biochemistry. Keep in mind, that isn’t the one and only way to organize the subject, just one of the common ways you’ll see the field subdivided.
